Sääksmäki is a village and a former municipality, currently part of Valkeakoski in the Pirkanmaa region of Western Finland.

[2] Sääksmäki's architecture also includes manor houses that date back hundreds of years.

It was mentioned in 1340 in a papal bull by Pope Benedict XII, in which he excommunicated 25 peasants from Sääksmäki as they had not paid their taxes.

This letter provides some information on contemporary Finnish names, though their written forms do not accurately represent their actual pronunciations.

The area was ecclesiastically subordinate to Sääksmäki, but has been an administrative unit called Saarioinen since the 14th century.
